Donatella Cinelli Colombini Leone Rosso Orcia 2020

Orcia, Tuscany, ItalyDOC Orcia is produced in 13 municipalities between Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is 60/40 sangiovese/merlot from the historic estate, built by Donatella Cinelli Colombini's ancestors in 1592 (reflected by the red lion on the label). This younger vine red spends 6 months in medium / large oak. Juicy and succulent ripe red fruit is scented with balsam, and hugged by sticky tannins, finishing with a warm flush and kiss of bitter dark chocolate. A warming red well suited to autumnal braises or ragu.Tasted: 11 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
